Advanced transformer research

We conduct detailed research, analyses, and calculations on electromagnetic, electrodynamic, and thermal phenomena in transformers. To ensure the long-term reliability and smooth operation of essential equipment such as transformers, our research encompasses monitoring of power transformers, investigating UHV and HVDC transformer insulation properties, researching new insulating materials, noise research and analysis of additional losses.

Additionally, our experts perform overvoltage analysis in the grid and transformers, transformer fault analysis and analyses and calculations of dielectric systems.

Research in rotating machines

We conduct comprehensive research on phenomena, advanced design, and applications of electrical rotating machines. Our work in electrotechnical materials, such as magnetic materials, conductors, insulation, and insulation systems, is of paramount importance. Additionally, our research extends to noise and vibration, with a particular focus on rail vehicles, generators, and transformers.

Our specialists are highly skilled in providing consulting services for analytical calculation methods related to electrical machines, including electromagnetic, ventilation, thermal, and mechanical calculations. Additionally, we offer services for evaluating and implementing innovative calculation methods, such as 2D and 3D FEM models and dynamic simulations. Our capabilities extend to developing studies in electromagnetic phenomena, fluid dynamics, and heat exchange.

Development of functional safety systems

For nearly three decades, we have been helping our partners tackle challenges related to control, electronics, communication, and ICT within the railway sector.

We specialize in providing control solutions that meet the stringent requirements of railway functional safety standards (EN 50126, EN 50128, EN 50129, EN 50159, EN 50657, up to SIL4) as well as machinery standards.

Our approach centers on viewing customers as partners and relying on our experienced, competent, and creative team. We ensure that customer requirements are aligned with LCC (Life Cycle Cost), RAMS (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety), and CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization) standards.

Our philosophy mirrors that of LEGO bricks: creating simple, modular solutions for a broad range of applications, ensuring compatibility of hardware and software components to address obsolescence—develop once, use repeatedly.
